Pokémon: The Poison King Plays with Fire

"I happened to be passing by and wanted to borrow your cave to take shelter from the rain."

"Oh I got it."

Seeing that Ye Kai was really here to shelter from the rain, the man said nothing more.

Since they couldn't get out for a while anyway, the two of them just started chatting.

"Young man, at your age, you should have just graduated, right? Are you traveling alone?"

"Yeah, playing in the gym."

"Ambition is good... Actually, when you go out, you can prepare a large onix or a three-eared dwarf."

This guy was also a chatterbox, and soon he started talking about how to dig a hole in the ground.

Take the cave they are in now, for example. It was dug out by the uncle using Onix.

"If someone uses the earthquake technique on these holes, wouldn't they collapse instantly?"

"Indeed, but that also depends on the soil quality and various factors. Large holes like that generally aren't a big problem..."

"The key is that it's protected from the wind and rain. It's much better than a tent!"

Ye Kai also agreed with this point and learned a lot of knowledge unintentionally.

The rain outside the cave was getting heavier and heavier, and rumbling thunder could be heard.

It seems that I won’t be able to get out for a while.

"You dug this hole, didn't you, to avoid the rain?"

Ye Kai's eyes were dim, and he did not let down his guard just because this person seemed so familiar.

We must find out his purpose here.

"To be honest, I'm here to catch elves."

"Have you ever heard of a giant rock snake made of crystal?"

Crystal rock snake? !

Isn't this the one that appeared in the previous Pokémon anime?

Crystal Onix is ​​not afraid of water, but is afraid of fire-type moves.

The whole body is made of crystal, it is beautiful and it is indeed a good thing!

Crystal Onix in the animation

"never heard of that……"

Ye Kai pretended not to know.

"Actually, not everyone is as obsessed with battles as you are. Trainers like me, who are neither high nor low, are the majority..."

"Come out, everyone!"

Then the uncle released all the elves.

There are pink Butterfree, Sakura Fish, Steelix, and a not-so-small Spiny Ammonite, which is nearly 2 meters long.

Sakura Fish is a branch evolution of Pearl Oyster, and Spiny Ammonite is a rare fossil Pokémon.

These elves of his are indeed quite rare.

Onix is ​​very valuable, and many projects require the help of this giant beast.

Its evolved Steelix will only be more expensive!

"So I started collecting all kinds of rare elves, capturing and selling them, and making a living from it."

Looking at the all-pink Butterfree in front of him, Ye Kai couldn't help but think of something.

"Why, are you interested in this Butterfree?"

"Where was this caught?"

"Catch them? Haha, you can never catch them, but I know a way to make them turn pink."

As he spoke, the uncle talked about a past event.

About 30 years ago.

There used to be an island called Pink Red Island at the mouth of the sea near the Dragon Alliance.

The island is rich in a kind of peculiar fruit.

It is said that if elves eat a certain amount of fruit on the island, their skin will turn pink...

Later, this news was spread everywhere, and some greedy businessmen thought that they could make a lot of money from the gorgeous competition and training!

So all the fruit trees and fruits on the island were picked.

Even the tree roots were dug out!

All the pink wild Pokémon on the island were also captured...

Ye Kai listened expressionlessly, feeling only pity.

Human nature is what it is.

"The one in my hand was passed down from my family. It's a descendant of the original batch of pink elves."

"Actually, that kind of fruit tree can be cultivated artificially now, but one piece costs 50. It's said that if you eat more than three of them, the pigment on your elf's body will turn pink for life!"

Comparing with the uncle's experience, except for the different location, this Magenta Island is extremely similar to the island in the original animation.

It seems that pink one-horned rhinos do exist.

"Hey, how do the holes dug by the Rhyhorn compare to those dug by the Onix?"

"Brother, you have good taste! Let me tell you, this diamond-horned rhinoceros is a good thing..."

Uncle has always wanted a diamond-horn rhinoceros.

The holes they dig are smaller than those of Onix, but of higher quality!

The two of them had a great conversation, and when they got excited, the uncle said he would take him into the cave to have a look.

It seems that Ye Kai’s guess was correct, there really is an underground river in this place!

The sound of splashing can be heard from time to time, and there are even elves such as loaches and Magikarp living in the river.

They are very small and have poor qualifications, so Ye Kai is not very interested in them.

From time to time, you will encounter a large number of wild gophers and ground shrews in the cave.

This kind of elf is very curious and often sticks its head out to look at the two of them.

But when you really pay attention to them, or even want to capture them.

They disappeared in a flash.

It seems there are a lot of good things underground.

Many of them are elves that you can never even encounter on the ground!

However, no matter how big the place is, it is just a temporary hole in the ground after all.

Soon there was nothing to do.

"Actually, we won't go to great lengths to dig a new hole. We'll mostly look for places where there might be larger caves and dig a hole into them..."

"If we could dig up a cave that had never been explored before, we would make a fortune!"

When talking about this, the uncle was visibly excited.

In fact, the reason why he said so much to Ye Kai.

In the final analysis, it was Ye Kai who promised to buy his "Pinggan Fruit".

This fruit is the magical fruit that makes elves turn pink.

Early the next morning.

After the rain stopped, Ye Kai left and headed onto the highway.

The air after the rain is especially fresh.

He also obtained a sales channel for the pink fruit.

It seems that I will have to get a one-horned rhinoceros or a diamond-horned rhinoceros in the future.

It will be of great use!

You should know that in the original animation, both the pink Rhydon and Nidoking appeared.

There are not many opportunities for this kind of acquired dyeing!

and……

Ye Kai took out a book, "Excavation Atlas".

I got this book from that uncle.

It records the elves that may be encountered during excavation, as well as various miscellaneous things.

According to the above statement, various situations may occur when digging into the ground.

Some encountered underground rivers and oil.

You might even find items, evolution stones, or even ancient elf fossils!

But remember, don't search for keywords the first time you find something good.

Some of my colleagues have made this mistake before.

Soon, people from the alliance came and confiscated the hole they dug.

Of course, these are not what he is really interested in.

This book records some information.

There are two kinds of elves that are also distributed underground, and they can only be found underground!
